Dear Telesto, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Still present Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5e0c670e6534fee529ea46d520c6b442bea93aac CPU threads: 8; OS: macOS 14.7.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
On Linux, the behaviour changed with commit cf523a77a76645f301aaa43b57b0c78c8c685561 tdf#166964 Switch to IconView in LayoutMenu for improved UI handling Now there is only a brief flash of the view when starting Spelling. Maybe it tries to switch to the handout view, but for some reason the change gets suppressed. Now I notice that this is kind of in line with what comment 0 says: "less obvious in 3.5.7.2 (flashes to Master Handout and back)". On Windows the behaviour was not changed. Testing with latest is at the moment blocked by bug 168500 Bibisected the original change with linux-43all to range https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/?id=043273e721ade64e4fb42f969cf22b4202c6b80d&qt=range&q=a1ac2538e9b287444500618ab4d2f0f06c25cf34..19f4ebd8a54da0ae03b9cc8481613e5cd20ee1e7
The spell check is going to check all "things" and this includes the notes and handouts. I assume that the handout view is the last one checked. Since there are no misspellings in this document, going through the context-switching could be avoided.
Despite SdOutliner::EndOfSearch having the comment // Before we display a dialog we first jump to where the last valid text // object was found. All page and view mode switching since then was // temporary and should not be visible to the user. disabling that had no effect. [And it sounded so promising...] At the very end (SdOutliner::EndSpelling), everything is restored with SdOutliner::RestoreStartPosition. However, everything works differently when I step through the code in GDB. So the screen painting must be happening in an idle loop or something. I'm not going to look at this further. Editeng stuff is just bizarre, feels completely unstable and fragile and unoptimized, and basically just incomprehensible. Any attempt to change anything is a disaster in the making.
